HERO 5
Stressed by stocks? An experiment commissioned by Barclays to test Brits’ psychological and physiological reactions to financial jargon has revealed that 86% admit to finding this terminology baffling. Around two thirds of Brits displayed a stress reaction to investment and financial terminology. Investment terms were found to cause participants the most distress, with ‘stockbroker’ and ‘investment risk’ revealed as the most terrifying terms. The Barclays Smart Investor platform is a direct investing service to help Brits plan and achieve their investment goals.
